The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and makingl part of the same.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Ilhe nature of my invention consists in providingan ironing-table with a hinged supporting-frame, in coinbination with suoli other devices as will be hereinafter described.

To enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and usethc same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the standards, which are placed diagonally across each other, and pivoted at the centre by a cylindrical bar, B.

. a a b b represent cross-braces, by which the standards -are secured together at their respective ends. The

brace b is made with a shoulder and neck at each end, the Vneck passing through holes made in the standards, and a pin inserted in the neck outside the standards. The ironing-board d is made of suitable length, and covered with cloth. One end is then secured to the brace b', the other end resting upon the brace b. The

rod d is made nearly as long as the ironing-table. One

'passed under the brace b, and then fastened to the table, thus forming it more irrnly to the brace b. The rod d is provided at one end with pin and slot, to which one end of the upright support e is secured, the other end hooking over the brace a, as represented in g. 1. The upright support F is made by placing two pieces diagonally across each other, their lower ends being pivoted to the brace a, by lneans of metal loops or straps passing around said brace. The upper ends of the-support F are made concave, so that when the table is ready for use, the brace a may rest in the concaveiends of the support F.

Having thus fully described my invention,

. What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The supporting-frame F, bar or support e, standards A Aand ironing-board (l, all constructed and arranged substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. X
